Cassetteboy is the stage name of two musicians from the United Kingdom - Mark Bollen and Steve Warlin. Their initial appearance was on the Di and Dodi Do Die 7" Record released on the record label Barry's Bootlegs in 2000 which is somehow related to the electronic music label Spymania. As well as producing several albums of their own, they have appeared on an album with DJ Rubbish entitled Inside A Whale's Cock Vol 1, which included a spoof of a song by Alanis Morrisette.

Culturedeluxemix #4 : A Culturedeluxe Christmas

It's one week to Christmas and, if you haven't already hanged yourself with that 'stocking on the wall' or ran outside in minimal clothing and shouted 'let it snow, let it snow, let it snow' in the hope of freezing to death then you've clearly successfully avoided the suicide-inducing deluge of tired old Christmas classics.

Help is at hand as Culturedeluxe have compiled a 6 track, 15 minute mix of truly alternative Christmas tracks for you to download and love this season. Kicking off with the inimitable cut-up kings Cassetteboy, the mix visits the bontempi and massed recorders of Zoltan Kodaly School for Girls, the electronic onslaught of Evils, Crystal Castles and The Knife before handing it over to the excellent Bobby McGee's to finish things off as only they know how.

1. Cassetteboy - 'Happy Cliffmas'
2. Zoltan Kodaly School for Girls - 'Stop the Cavalry'
3. Evils - 'There is no Santa Claus'
4. Crystal Castles - 'Crystal Castles Save Christmas'
5. The Knife - 'Christmas Reindeer'
6. The Bobby McGee's - 'Last Christmas I Gave You My Heart But The Very Next Day You Sold It On E-Bay'

Famed among `bastard pop` circles for their frequently hilarious, always entertaining audio cut-ups, Cassetteboy are back with a new video cut-up using fragments from a whopping forty three episodes of BBC reality show `The Apprentice`.

In this brand new version, such topics as Sir Alan Sugar`s colossal manhood and the likelihood of the leader of the boardroom receiving a kiss are discussed.
